Abstract:

One of the challenges of the last few years is to provide conditions allowing to feed the overgrowing world population while also taking into consideration land availability and the global climate change. In this PhD thesis, different methods have been developed, useful to promote a sustainable agriculture. The experimental work focuses mainly on aspects related to Seed Technology, particularly the development of improved seed priming protocols, combined with the use of novel molecular hallmarks for seed germination. Besides this, efforts were also dedicated to develop genetic engineering meth

Através deste trabalho, pretendeu-se definir o perfil dos hortelões, estudar aspetos relativos à agricultura que aí se pratica, nomeadamente práticas agrícolas utilizadas, biodiversidade agrícola, recolha de semente e existência de variedades locais e tentar perceber se existe um fluxo de informação, que contribua para a educação desta comunidade. Para isso foram realizados inquéritos a 46 hortelões. Concluiu-se que existe uma diversidade de pessoas que se reflete nas práticas agrícolas, tendo-se

Abstract:

Agricultural policies worldwide are giving an increased focus to the goal of sustainable agriculture, but there are still uncertainties around how this is performed and achieved. As small-scale farmers are a fundamental part of agricultural production worldwide, earlier scholars request deeper understanding of how these farmers perceive sustainable agriculture and how they perceive the pathway towards sustainability. In Tanzania, many small-scale farmers choose to participate in initiatives and organizations under the Organic Farming Movement. By focusing on small-scale farmers that have joine

Abstract:

I examined the intensive farming systems of the Ziz Valley of southeastern Morocco. The valley is a 250 km long expanse watered by the Ziz River. Surrounded by arid Saharan desert, the valley houses a dense, rapidly growing, and ethnically stratified population of Arabs, Berbers, and Haratine (blacks). Irrigated farming of cereals, olives and dates, and livestock raising dominate the lives of its inhabitants. Upon the analysis of the Ziz data, I reached three major findings. First, despite the unexpected finding that Berbers actually get more out of the same amount of land than Haratine and Ar

Abstract:

Ethanol and acetaldehyde production by cotton seeds subjected to anoxic stress imposed by CO₂ or N₂ gas was quantified during the imbibition phase. Fermentation capacity was low in dry seeds and quickly increased during the first few hours of imbibition. In hydrated seeds, ethanol and acetaldehyde excretion following anoxic stress followed a linear trend in time. Ethanol excretion exceeded that of acetaldehyde by an order of magnitude. Similar rates of production were observed whether anoxic was imposed by either CO₂ or N₂ gas. Excreted ethanol and acetaldehyde were rapidly metabolized followi

Both row spacings had higher yields when planted on the later date, as did both the DPL 90 and ST506 varieties used in the test.

While UA is increasing on a global scale, it is not always being supported in a strategic manner.

Abstract:

<p> This project explores the significance of seed saving as an integral part of sustainable agriculture through the lens of social-ecological resilience. In order to take a deeper look at seed saving and its relationship to social-ecological resilience on a regional scale, this research examines the practices of three culturally distinct seed-saving organizations in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado—an indigenous pueblo organization, a multi-generational Hispanic family, and an Anglo family farm. Guided by Participatory Action Research methods, interviews were conducted and an e

Abstract:

Ash gourd seed production<br>Experiments were conducted in Ash gourd varieties, CO-2 and Kerala local to document the flowering behvaiour and changes during fruit and seed development maturation as influenced by varieties, season, position of fruits and seed on seed quality. An on farm trial for test verification of the best method of seed extraction was also conducted at seed production unit of Kondamuthunur Sathyamangalam taluk of Erode district. Fruits can be harvested 60 DAA in summer and 70 DAA in rainy season. In the present study seed production package has been discussed in Kerala Loca

Abstract:

The accumulation of proline (Pro) in plants during NaCl stress may have adaptive significance and the study of this response could reveal a genetic strategy for enhancing NaCl tolerance. Our objective was to determine if the Pro content of germinating cotton seeds is altered by exposure to exogenous NaCl. Seeds were imbibed for 24 h at 32°C before transfer to agar media containing NaCl. After 24 h of NaCl exposure, the Pro contents of radicles and cotyledons were measured using a colorimetric assay. Results showed that Pro contents of both radicles and cotyledons increased as the level of NaCl

Abstract:

Cottonseed was treated with several fungicide treatments in an effort to protect the seed and seedling from disease. Seed germination and vigor was evaluated in three Arizona locations; Maricopa, Marana, and Safford. Stand counts were taken on two separate dates after emergence and percent emergence was calculated. Among the three locations only one, Marana, showed significant differences among treatments. The highest percent emergence being seeds treated with Nu-Flow ND at a rate of 7.5 fl oz/cwt. The untreated control placed last in the ranking at this location.

Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Paraffin, also called kerosene is used by small-scale soya bean farmers in some parts of Africa as a pest repellent. The repellent action is claimed to be effective against parasites during seed germination and development of the seedlings. Seeds are immersed in commercial paraffin for a few seconds and sown in the soil immediately. This method raised some questions about possible negative effects on the seed after the imbibition process but also on humans and animals consuming the plants and seeds. Experiments were designe

Abstract:

Responses to environmental stresses such as excess salinity are difficult to understand if not studied under defined conditions. The objective of this study was to determine if cottonseed radicle and cotyledon growth during germination was affected by exogenous NaCl. Cottonseeds were imbibed in moistened paper toweling for 24 h at 32°C before transfer to an agar media containing selected concentrations of NaCl for an additional 24 h. Radicle linear growth extension was stimulated at low NaC1 concentrations (80 mM), but increasingly inhibited as NaCl concentrations increased from 160 to 400 mM.

Thesis (MScAgric.)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Experi!11entsin KwaZulu-Natal showed that seed treatment with molybdenum (Mo) could double the yield and increase the protein content by 1.9% of soybeans grown on acidic soils. However, it was also found that soybean yield at five of the localities was reduced on average by 8% after Mo seed treatment. It was surmised that the yield reductions observed after Mo seed treatment were connected to the quality of the seed used for planting. The aim of this project was to assess the relationship between seed quality and
